Using The Machine; Preliminary Procedures - Stiga CS 20 Li B Operator's Manual

3. ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT Unpacking and assembly must be car-
ried out on a flat, solid surface with sufficient space to
move the machine and the packaging.
Before assembling, make sure the batteries are
not inserted in their housing.
NOTE The machine can be hung on the wall.
• Assembling the charging base (Fig.3)
• Mounting of the rail for fixing to the wall (Fig. 4)
• Assembly of the guide bar and toothed chain
1. Using the supplied wrench unscrew the
nut or use the tightening knob (Fig. 5.A)
and remove the chain guard (Fig. 5.B) to
access the drive pinion and bar seat.
2. Mount the bar (Fig. 6.A) by inserting the stud
bolt (Fig. 6.B) in the groove (Fig. 6.C) and push
it towards the back of the machine body.
3. Tilt the machine to make it easier to wind the
chain around the drive sprocket (Fig. 7).
4. Mount the chain (Fig. 8.A) around the drive
sprocket (Fig. 8.B) and along the bar guide (Fig.
8.C) being careful to follow the sliding direction.
5. If the tip of the bar is equipped with a nose sprocket,
make sure the drive links are correctly inserted in the
sprocket rims (Fig. 9).
6. Refit the guard (Fig. 10.A), without fully tightening the
nut or knob (Fig. 10.B).
Turn the chain tension adjuster screw or act on the
7.
ring nut (Fig. 11.A) to achieve the desired tension
(Fig. 10).
8. Raise the bar and tighten the guard nut or the knob
securely using the wrench supplied (Fig. 13. A)..
Always wear heavy duty gloves when handling
the bar and chain. Mount the bar and chain very
carefully so as not to impair the safety and efficiency
of the machine. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
Perform all operations after removing the
battery.
Before assembling the bar, check that the chain
brake is not engaged (cap. 4).

chain runs
4. CONTROLS
• Throttle trigger lever (Fig. 14.A)
It allows the activation of the chain.
The activation of the throttle trigger lever is possible only
after that the throttle lock buttom is pressed (Fig. 14.B).
The cutting means stops automatically when the throttle
safety lever is released.
• Interlock buttom (Fig. 14.B)
The throttle lock lever allows the throttle trigger buttom to
be used (Fig. 14.A).
• Chain brake
This is a safety braking system that blocks the chain
movement when kickback occurs during . It must be
manually released to disengage the chain brake..
Chain brake engaged. This is achieved
when the front hand guard (Fig. 1. D) is
pushed all the way forward.
Chain
achieved when the front hand guard (Fig.
1. D) is pulled all the way back, towards
the machine body, until it clicks into
position.
Do not use the machine if the chain brake
does not function correctly and have it inspected
by your dealer.

chine (para. 6.2).
• Filling with chain lubrication oil
Fill with chain lubrication oil before using the machine..
• Checking the chain tension
Perform all operations with the motor off.
Always wear heavy duty work gloves
The tension is correct when the drive links do not slip out
of the chain guides if you hold the chain in the middle of
the bar (Fig. 12).
